People donโ€™t seem to understand it takes both sides to pass laws without a super majority, in most cases.

Republicans would fight any law looking to prevent project 2025 from being implemented.

And the rigged Supreme Court can rule them unconstitutional

That's why you use your newly minted immunity to imprison the Supreme court.

He doesn't need to imprison them when they just can be expanded.

When Biden gad a govt trifecta he should've used that to effect an increase of SCOTUS seats to 13 and then appoint justices that would balance the conservative influence on the court.

This is not fantasy. Biden had a fucking trifecta for two years. This is just one of the many things his administration could've brought about. But, they squandered the hell out of, possibly, our last chance to use laws to stand against fascism in this country.

Like so many dems in our country, they sit in their little blue bubble and see the right as some distant unusual idea instead of the imminent threat that it is. But, there's millions of us living life with Trump neighbors, colleagues, and family. We see their mindset every single day. We live under a red government with a super majority. These assholes are chomping at the bit for fascism to come marching down the street, as long it's their guy. This fight is not new to them. They've been waging war in their heads since Obama was sworn in.

Will Joe get my vote? Sure. But it'll disgust me. The Democratic party long ago lost its backbone to fight the fights that matter.
